History
The origin of McHarry's Buslines dates back to 1932, when John McHarry was employed at Ford's Geelong plant as a coach-builder. He transported his own employees to the plant in his truck, and it wasn't long before he was inundated with requests from others in the Ford workforce for a ride to work.[1]
Livery
McHarry's has two liveries. The liveries are:
| Livery | Livery Summary |
|---|---|
| Geelong Transit System | Overall white, with two blue horizontal stripes and the letters "GTS" written in the middle, as seen here. This livery is being phased out and almost all buses have been repainted in the corporate livery. |
